Nord Lead 4 action on a larger keyboard

Post by magnuskatz »

I tried a Nord Lead 4 in the store... I love the action on it. Super light, first synth that doesn't exhaust my fingers. I saw somewhere that this uses Fatar TP/7BA unweighted keybed. Looking on the Fatar website I see they make larger versions of that keybed, including 88.

So my question: would anyone know of a keyboard (or even just a controller) that uses that same keybed but with more keys, ideally 88?

Fatar TP/7BA is such an old keybed, makes me wonder if that is indeed the correct model of keybed that they're using. I read that from some forum somewhere, so it's not official. Would anyone here be able to confirm exactly which keybed model the Nord Lead 4 is really using?
